Nothing wrong with the forum.  Send it to me by email and I'll see what the problem is.

Looks like Atylotus sp. but I may be wrong. Any ideas? |

There aren't any described Atylotus in South America. My general impression is that it is Stenotabanus (Stenotabanus) sp., but without a closer shot of the wing base I can't rule Tabanus or a few other genera. There is no key to male Stenotabanus, unfortunately. Do you have any more photos of this or other Brazilian horse flies? I'd love to see them. |

Unfortunately I don't have any other shots. And returning to Brazil now... The one thing I can say is that the fly was eveywhere and there was no cattle around. Joaquim Gaspar Lisbon |
